I am sick of city slickers trying to make arguments on behalf of farmers. farmers have been implimenting solar for a decade, if you drive around to farms. not acreages!, farms, you will that the south side of barns are covered in solar panels. Farmers have always been early adaptors of technology, especially ones that make their operation profitable.
Show me an instance of a solar project on pause right now that is in prime crop land, and I will show you an acreage that isn't.
Its not about land use. It's about suburban oil and gas worker ideology.
